Chapter 188
The director's eyes widened in amazement. "Wow, that sounds incredible. I'm genuinely impressed."
Cameron aimed to trip Nathan up. "You've displayed nearly a hundred outfits on the show. You mean they were all crafted by your lead designer? But your fashion brand's only been around for a few months. Did your designer rocket through designing and producing almost a hundred pieces in that short span?" This sharp and logical questioning put Nathan squarely in the hot seat. It was as if he were being grilled for telling tall tales.
If Nathan couldn't back up his claims, he'd be pegged as a braggart with declining credibility.
Cameron watched him, enjoying the moment. He's confident Nathan had no evidence to counter his challenge.
After all, Cameron prided himself on knowing Nathan's lead designer better than anyone else. That was his recently divorced ex-wife.
The studio atmosphere turned tense, all eyes fixed on Nathan.
Viewers watching the live stream were visibly disheartened. Their doubts echoed: [Oh no, could this be? Nathan wouldn't really lie, would he? That would shatter me.]
[I think Nathan did lie. Cameron's questioning is airtight. How could a designer whip up nearly a hundred outfits in just a few months? It's clearly a fib.]
Nathan met Cameron's gaze directly, the smirk on Cameron's face betraying his inner satisfaction.
Then Nathan broke into a smile. He mouthed to Cameron, "You brought this on yourself."
Just as Cameron sensed something was amiss, Nathan began his explanation, "My lead designer isn't some recent acquaintance. We've known each other for years. Ever since we met, she's been passionate about creating clothes for me. Those vibrant outfits you see were probably designed when I was younger. I was going through some tough times, so my clothes featured patterns like forget-me-nots, lucky clovers, and magnolias. She wanted me to live worry-free."
The guests on the show erupted in applause, "Wow, that's so touching." Cameron, on the other hand, looked completely taken aback.
Nathan continued, "The outfits with a youthful yet mature vibe and more muted colors were made for family gatherings. My designer aimed to give me a dependable and mature appearance. So, she went with a casually sophisticated style"
"Now that we're launching our own fashion brand, she believes I have the right look and physique to be the spokesperson. So, she's constantly pouring her heart into designing stunning clothes for me." After Nathan wrapped up his explanation, he turned to Cameron, "Any more doubts?"
Cameron's face turned a shade darker. Nathan's connection with Nathalie gave him a gut-wrenching feeling.
According to Nathan's story, he and
Nathalie had known each other for years, and just recently, Nathan publicly confirmed Nathalie as his girlfriend. This made Cameron suspect that Nathalie might have been involved with Nathan even before their divorce.
This realization only fueled Cameron's agitation further.
